High Risk Mental Health Triage

Screening and intervening for high risk mental health situations can be anxiety-provoking and stressful for healthcare and public servant professionals. Effectively and confidently managing or “triaging” these patient types requires knowledge and training. It is very common that mental health consumers will be calling or presenting in various community places, such as ER’s, call centers and police dispatch, physician offices, police officers in the field and counseling centers. The time to address these situations is before confronted with them.

In Tuscon, AZ on May 11th and in Phoenix, AZ on May 12th, Craig Judd, psychologist, will be providing one-day seminar trainings on this topic, High Risk Mental Health Triage – “How To” Assessment and Intervention Techniques for Telephone and Face-to-Face Emergencies. Coordinated through PESI Healthcare, PESI, interested professionals can register for this valuable, must-attend seminar. No longer will you avoid, second-guess or inappropriately intervene in these emergency situations.

If these locations and dates are not convenient for you, save the PESI link to your favorites and keep watching for additional seminar information dates and locations.
